I think that it is a fake

eagle and skull are originals late war zinc Assmann´s made

Cap

Post closeups of the piping, please. It appears to be a bit fuzzy.
The color of the interior lining seems a bit odd, as does the placement and attachment of the RZM tag. The cap appears to be mint, but there's no celluloid diamond, which is odd as well.
You may be correct. I lean towards it NOT being a good cap.
Let's see what others say.

thanks for opinion. but I wouldn't begin to speak about a skull and about an eagle having only these photos.
if they are also the original, then it doesn't mean that all cap the original

In my opinion - cap is bad....

these pieces (originals only seen these photos) not originally attached in this type of caps, if the cap was original is something else.

I can't speak to the insignia, but I like what I see (so far) with regard to the hat itself....

The cap appears to be near mint, so what happened to the plastic crown diamond?
Just because the RZM tag has a known mfgr. number doesn't mean the cap is authentic. Just asking.

I Know that some Carryer of a Visorcap removed it, for a better "feeling of wear" but the removed diamond mans not its a original.
And the diamonds are not produced of plastik, it is celloleud. Only the modern (Fakes) are maide often from plastik.

The cap is original for sure.

Here's another by the same maker with it's celluloid shield still intact.

I will defer to BenVK - he is extremely knowledgable on this subject.
